Why does the media keep giving this mon sterling a free pass?

Rhetorical question.

Trump launches all-out attack on the press

The billionaire had called the news conference to announce an accounting of his at least $5.6 million in fundraising for veterans groups, but spent most of the 40 minutes criticizing and insulting reporters -- collectively and at times individually -- as "dishonest," "not good people," sleazy, and among the worst human beings he has ever met.
And he vowed the White House briefing room would be just as combative as the Trump Tower lobby, where the developer addressed reporters Tuesday, should he ascend to the Oval Office.

So will the rest of us.

Yesterday, he called the judge in his case an unfair "Mexican" and today he called the press who covers his campaign dishonest and sleazy. What does he say when he wants to alienate someone?
